    Hi,

    Has anyone here upgraded their 1520's optical drive to a hard drive? I was looking on Newmodeus.com at optical drive caddy's and it lists that the 1520 has a SATA optical drive? Is this true? Also, will the 1520 accept a larger 12.7 MM (vs. 9.5 MM) optical drive caddy in replace of it's original DVD burner?

    Thanks for any and all answers!
